[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Steve Dower added the comment: It shouldn't be necessary for VS 2010 and later, and the `extra_link_args=['/MANIFEST']` workaround should be sufficient for cases where it is necessary (specific dependencies other than MSVCRT that require manifests). --

[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Steve Dower added the comment: /MANIFEST is probably assumed on VC9 since the CRT required it, but that was probably changed for VC10 without updating the documentation fully. Frankly I'd rather remove the MANIFESTFILE property added by distutils, since it doesn't add anything of value (on my

[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Matthew Brett added the comment: I think the argument previously was that VS 2010 was not the default compiler for Python 2.7, and so this problem was not important, but I'm happy to be corrected. I haven't tried building extensions for Python 2.7 with VS 2010 but I guess the problem will be

Stephen Hansen added the comment: Just to be clear, I ran into this exact issue recently in VS2010 professional as I indicated earlier. I don't know about what should or should not be needed, but the solution in the original comment fixed it exactly for me. --

[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Steve Dower added the comment: Sorry, I was focused on the fact that you don't need a manifest with VS 2010 and not that distutils was forcing you to have one when building an executable. Either adding '/MANIFEST' as in paxan's patch (according to

[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Matthew Brett added the comment: Steve - did you try my 'setup.py' example; it's standalone, as in `python setup.py build` will reproduce the error. This is specifically VS 2010. It doesn't make any difference for me if I specify an extension or not, so I don't think that is the problem.

[issue4431] Distutils MSVC doesn't create manifest file

Matthew Brett added the comment: I think this is a frank bug for Pythons that use MSVC 10+ by default (3.3, 3.4 for example). The lack of the /MANIFEST flag breaks the distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler.link_executable command - see attached setup.py example. The example gives the error

Mark Hammond skippy.hamm...@gmail.com added the comment: I don't think a buildbot will be necessary - like the earlier compilers, they may have basic support but they don't all get buildbot support. The problem isn't the lack of ability/will to get things working with VS2010 - it is more the

Mark Hammond skippy.hamm...@gmail.com added the comment: My experience is that for VS2008 at least, the /MANIFESTFILE: option seems to be ignored if there is nothing to put in the manifest, and this tends to be true if you use a static CRT instead of the DLL based one (ie, if you use /MT)
